communication from this negro, Green. in
which ne characterized the Southern people
as robbers and thieves, indOlent and thrift
less. Among other things, the article said
tue Southern white women here are the lazi-

Inc reading OF the article intensely enraged
the people, and u was. with difficulty they
were prevented from hanging him. At 10
O'Clock Sunday night vigilance committee
waited upon him and notified him that if he
was found in the city or county at the expi-
ration or twenty-f0ur hours he would GER
talnly be hanged. He accepted the warning
ana left yesterday afternoon. Several of the
coloreu population wanted to take him out
Yesterday and give him whipping, feeling
that his slanderous abuse affected them as
much as the whites. He is well educated
and is calculated to do great harm among
the negroes by his sedtious talk.
Perhaps it is not strange that the people
OF Aberdeen took umbrage at Mr.. Green's
letter to the Fairfield Journal, for it exhib-
tied them in a very unfayorable light. Had
he written such letter concerning a New
England community he would doubtless
have been given the cold shoulder and not
without reason. But no vigilance committee
would have waited upon him with a threat
of lynchng if he did not leave town in
twenty-four hours The difference between
the treatment he would have received in
New England aud the treatment he did re-

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

1t is reported that Iowa farmers are in
quiring about farm property in Vermont,
with the idea of coming back to the land of
their fathers Hundreds of New England
people went West with the idea of coming
back again after having acquired fortune
or competence. A New Highlander who
has lived on the Illinois prairies for many
years was In Massachusetts during the sum-
mer, and told the Springfield Republican
that western Massachusetts appeared to him
a paradise, and that nothing would suit him
better than to return to his old home in the
hills and end his life there.
The last reliable census returns, those of
1880 and 1881, show only four cities in Europe
and one in America with over 100000 in
habitants. They are: London, 4,766,661 !;
Paris, 2.269,023; Berlin, 1,122,360 Vienna,
1,lo3s57, and New York, 1,2o6,59O. Besides
these there are four cities in Asia-Canton,
Toxic, Pekin and Nankin-that are estmat-
ed each to contain over 100000 inhabitants,
but the accuracy Of these estimates is doubt
full. The area of London, which contains the
above-named population, is about twenty-six
miles square. A similar area included in the
city of New York would have given it in 1880
a population larger than that of Paris. The
census of 1890 will probably show that Brook
Ign and Philadelphia each contain more than
a million people, with Chicago close up to
that point. At anything like the present rate
of progress, by the end Of the century half a
dozen other cities will have passed the line
of 100000, while st. Petersburg is the only
probability in Europe.
The Queen Regent Of Spain taking her

her descend into the waves and plunge
therein as if a bull fight were going on. The
Spaniards are the most equality-lovng peo-

frills hiding the ankles. and short tunic.
For several days she made one of her ladies,

In his speech to the Knights of Labor at
Minneapolis Mr.. Powderly is reported as
saying:
II these men did not have fair trial. such as is
guaranteed every man in the United States then
they should be granted a new trial. If they have
not been found guilty OF murder. they should not
be hanged. II they are to be hanged for the act.
ions of others, 1t is not just. The man who threw
the bomb In Chicago Should be hanged and his
accomplices should receive the punishment allot-
ted TO such offences by the laws OF the State Of
Illinois,
To some Of these propositions no exception
can be taken; others however are not SO
sound. Certainly the Anarchists were enti-
tied to fair trial, and il they did not have
one they should have another. But it is by
no means true that only the man who threw
the bomb in Chicago was guilty of murder.
The men who instigated him to that act by
their incendiary speeches were certainly as
guilty as he Indeed If there were any differ.
ence In their guilt it was probably in his
favor, for he may have been in some sense
the tool of others. Mr. Powderly's advice to
the Knights to drive out Of the order every
avowcd Anarchist Is wholesome and ought
to be needed.

THE ANNEXATION PROBLEM,
rHartford Courant

We seem able to assimiate any amount of
territory. but our more dangerous problem is
diverse races. There are those who fear the
Afncanization of several of the southern
states. Would it be balance to this danger
French, Scotch and English, with country
more likely to fill up with whites than with
blacks? And if we reached out in this way
towards the North Pole, would not the
southern region demand an extension over
Mexico TO Panama, in order to include room
for the easy-going races who desire temper
ate climate? If we take in the polar bear,
does not the admission of the monkey logic
ally follow?

Ex-Gov. Plaisted's truthful remark that
the Democrats of Maine had no leader and no
organization is made the occasion Of furi-
GUS onslaught upon him by the Kennebec
Democrat, the organ Of the Hon. Simon S.
Brown. who is the official leader of the par
ty. Mr.. Plaisted is informed that ''his acts
while Governor were all in the direction of
nursing the straight Greenbackers and dis
owning the working Democrats that
ibis course wrecked the fusion par
ty and gave the State to the Re-
publicans;" and that lat no time since
has he had any love for the Democratic
party, but did show his desire to conciliate
Blaine and be forgiven, by taking breakfast
with him after his nomination" This is a
fine way to promote harmony and get the
Democracy in good working order for the
next campaign.

There is some anxiety lest the condemned
Anarchists may escape the full penalty OF

Mr. g. w. Brown, who tells the Governor
that he will continue to enforce the laws in
his county according to his 'best Judgment
by which he probably means that he will
enforce them or not according as it pleases
him, undoubtedly owed his election to the
fact that it was understood that he would
not NEEDLE much with the liquor traffic in
Bangor. To his Bangor boomers, he was
practically under pledge to wink at viola.
tions of the law. He has chosen to redeem
this pledge rather than his pledge to enforce
all the laws strictly and impartially. The
Bangor Wing thinks there is no respccta-
Bile citizen Of Penobscot county of any shade
of politics who will not feel sense of shame

JUDGE BoNNEY AND THE RUMsELLERs.
[Bridgton News.l
Judge Bonney has been quietly dealing
out even and exact justice to Portland rum
sellers of late-and in fact this is not spas
mode, as he is doing the same thing year in
and year out. AS result of the years work
in his court thus far S20011.G4 has been col
lected in fines and 80 rumsellers have been
sent to Jail with an average sentence of
eight months. This, it will be understood,
is exclusive of the work of the municipal
court of Portland, aud does not include the
extensive seizures and destruction of liquors

The Express says it lis quite willing to
stand upon any just Interpretation of its as
sertion that detective may properly bring
criminal to justice by methods which would
be reprehensible IL used to convict an inno-
cent man." That wasn't its assertion. Its
assertion was that he could properly bring
him to justice by browbeating Now, brow
beating is species of duress, and confessions
obtained under duress are not admitted in the
courts of enlightened countries. So that the
detective not only ought not to try to bring
him to justice in that way, but cannot if he
tries, unless he conceals the fact of the
duress. But the last statement of
the Express does not help it any.
The guilt or innocence of the person in the
detectives custody is the question at issue,
and that question is not to be decided by the
detective, but by the courts. He is to as
slst the courts In arriving at correct con-
ciuslon by procuring evidence that tends to
throw light on the question. There are GER
tain methods of procuring evidence that
the courts have declared to be reprehensible
And the reason they have so declared is be-
cause they are methods liable TO produce nm
trustworthy evidence. These methods are
always reprehensible, whether they are en-
ployed to bring to justice criminal, that is
man who the detectives believe has COM
mitted crime, or to convict man whom the
detectives know to be innocent 1t is the
fact that they are always liable to convict in
nocent men that renders them reprehensible

Ever since NJ. Strakosch denied,
some twenty years ago, a report that
Adelia Patti was engaged to be mar
ried, prime donnas find the necessi-

gagemenr TO NJ. Aramburo, the tenor.
The following day a letter signed by
Miss Abby appears, denying the re-
port, and thus get the benefit of
little gratuitous publicity. We can
forgive Miss Adiny this time, as it is
her first offense, nut l hope she will
not follow Miss Emma Thursby's
example, who has praciiced the EN-
gagement dodge" tor the last fifteen
years. read the following in this
days Morning Journal: Miss EN-
ma Thursby has been spending the
last two months in Wiesbaden. She
has been i'll with Inflammation OF the
lungs, but is now greatly improved.
Miss Thursby lately had call from
the Crown Prince OF Germany, who
spoke very cordially of her talent
and hoped that she mi ht again be
heard in Berlin. Miss Thursby in
tends to spend few weeks in Switz-
erland. As to her future intentions
she is hesitating between a Pacific
tour and offers which she received in
Europe. The report OF Miss Thurs
by's engagement to gentleman from
Brooklyn is unfounded.
